INFO
Halepress is a Finnish brand known for its high-quality and user-friendly etching presses, trusted by artists for decades. Since 2024, the manufacturing and maintenance of Halepress products has been handled by SMachinex Oy in Sulkava. Previously, the presses were manufactured in Kouvola. Production continues in Finland, respecting tradition while utilizing modern mechanical engineering expertise.
Product development never stands still – the Halepress product line and manufacturing methods are in continuous evolution. We focus on quality, durability, and user experience in our design process. By listening actively to customer feedback and collaborating with professionals in the field of printmaking, we aim to provide top-tier tools that meet the current and future needs of art graphics.
As of early 2025, all Halepress machines are CE marked, demonstrating compliance with EU safety and quality standards. At the same time, the Halepress trademark was officially registered, strengthening the brand's presence both in Finland and internationally.
General Information on Delivery and Services
We offer a 3-year warranty on our presses, covering material and manufacturing defects (excluding felts).
The standard delivery time from order placement is approximately one month. If multiple models are in production simultaneously, the delivery time may be longer. We will provide the estimated completion and delivery dates along with our offer.
Delivery is available via freight carrier directly to your doorstep, or you can opt for customized delivery and installation through our company. Please inform us when placing your order if you would like the press delivered and set up ready for use at your desired location. A personalized quote will be provided for this service.
Models M40 and M60 are relatively easy to move. Models M80 and M100 typically require assembly on-site (e.g., in apartment buildings), unless the premises have exceptionally wide doorways and moving the press into place does not require lifting.
We now offer the much-requested, high-quality felts cut to size for each press model. Please let us know when ordering your press if you would like to include felts in your order. Ready-made felts can also be sold separately and shipped via post.
Producing multiple presses of the same model simultaneously is significantly more cost-effective. Therefore, if, for example, your friend is also planning to purchase a graphic press, it's advisable to combine orders, allowing us to reduce the unit price.
We also offer services for disassembling, moving, and reassembling presses, for instance, during a customer's relocation.
